Nature-based tourism gives wildlife a chance at survival
National Geographic – Tourism is often perceived as a threat to conservation but in reality, visiting natural locations can contribute to the protection of local wildlife.
Nature-based tourism can also make an ecologically significant net positive contribution to the effective conservation of biological diversity, as well as deter poachers in the area and support local communities that earn a living from tourism.
Conservation Tourism is a relatively new term but essentially means that your visit has positive impact for biodiversity conservation after taking into account the negative impact of the travel footprint.
